Homeschooling With an EFA
Until recently, all home education in New Hampshire was governed by RSA 193-A. Currently, there is a second category of homeschoolers under RSA 194:F.
While the New Hampshire Homeschooling Coalition supports all those homeschooling in New Hampshire, we are awaiting better clarification from the Department of Education (DOE) before we offer a summary of our own in regards to those homeschooling with an Educational Freedom Account under RSA 194:F. If you are homeschooling using an Education Freedom Account, please see RSA 194:F, the Children’s Scholarship Fund, and the Department of Education for more information.
If you are a traditional homeschooler (without an Educational Freedom Account) you are homeschooling under RSA 193-A and administrative rules Ed 315. Home education fulfills compulsory attendance (RSA 193:1). Parents should be aware of their legal rights to access public school programs (193:1-c). Those planning on home education through high school will want to be aware of the process of self-certification of secondary school completion.
On our other Legal Requirements pages, you will find information on homeschooling under RSA 193:A: homeschooling without an EFA. All information is provided as a courtesy to homeschooling families in New Hampshire and is not intended as legal advice.
